Hour Meter / Maintenance Reminder

Measures the time of the PTO being engaged. The hour meter measures the number of hours the PTO has been engaged. The hour meter will flash an initial oil change indicator at 5 hours, and a lubrication reminder every 50 hours. These reminders display for approximately two hours and will automatically reset themselves.

Note: The hour meter will register the passage of time only when the PTO is engaged. The hour meter has a self contained power source so the total hours are always visible.
